Question

Match the terms to their definition. 1. radical expression eliminate the radical from the denominator of a fraction 2. rationalize an expression that contains a radical; √7 and √21y are examples of radical expressions 3. radicand a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers in the form a/b where b ≠ 0 4. rational number the expression under a radical symbol

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct matches are :

1. radical expression - an expression that contains a radical. A radical equation is an equation in which a variable is under a radical. Like $2\sqrt{20}$

2. rationalize - eliminate the radical from the denominator of a fraction.

3. radicand - the expression under a radical symbol. Like $\sqrt{3}$ here 3 is radicand.

4. rational number - a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers in the form a/b where b does not equal 0.
